The
Obama Administration has told us who they think the real terrorists
are.

It's
you!

Although
most Americans are probably still of the opinion that the main terrorist
threat in our country comes from Muslim Jihadis, they are not the ones
singled out in this report. They're not even mentioned, even though
they were responsible for killing thousands of people on September 11,
and for perpetrating other acts of violence using motor vehicles and
firearms.

But,
what do most Americans know? Muslim Jihadi violence is not terrorism;
it is simply a "man-caused disaster," according to the administration.

With
that handy definition in mind, the Department of Homeland Security has
issued a secret report (which was eventually leaked to the media) entitled
"Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climates Fueling
Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment."

Key
indicators of rightwing extremism in the report include those people
who oppose gun control and are concerned that the Obama Administration
is preparing an assault on the constitutionally protected right to keep
and bear arms.

Other
issues that are supposedly a tip-off of terroristic threat are people
who support traditional marriage and oppose the growing influence of
the U.N. over U.S. foreign and domestic policy. Those
who consider themselves pro-life are to be looked at with suspicion,
too.

Not
only that, those who complain about illegal immigration and loss of
jobs due to companies leaving the U.S. (to find a more friendly regulatory
and tax climate abroad) are also people to be watched carefully.

And
of serious concern to the administration are those who, like Texas Governor
Rick Perry, complain about the danger to liberty of big government.

One
final category that disturbs the authors of "Rightwing Extremism"
is returning veterans. They are potential terrorists -- all of them.

Secretary Janet Napolitano has coyly explained that the report does
not make accusations, just assessments. For those who might fit into
one or more of the report's categories, that might seem to be a distinction
without a difference.

Owners of America for 27 years. GOA is a national membership organization
of 300,000 Americans dedicated to promoting their second amendment freedom
to keep and bear arms.
